Kimkins Controversy - Kimkins Scam

Health and Fitness Blogger Victim of Kimkins Censorship?

Health and Fitness blogger Vilma Perez, who recently wrote a review of the Kimkins diet, just had her Wordpress.com blog shut down.

She writes:

Hi there… this is Vilma, and I used to be on wordpress.com until my account was suspended this past weekend. A frind of mine suggested that I might of gotten my wordpress.com blog removed because I posted a Women’s World Picture (something about copyright infringement) up with my Kimkins Diet Review. Possibly… I don’t know. She said that many people’s blogs are being reported by Kimkins followers and i’m not the 1st one. Who knows… It could of been for sooooo many reason’s but I just wanted to let you know that I have a new blog now with a new Kimkins review…

Thanks!

Slamboard’s coverage of the Kimkins diet controversy prompted a cease and desist letter from Woman’s World, so Vilma’s thoughts about copyright issues could be spot on.

Ironically:

• Woman’s World refuses to answer questions about their Kimkins/Kimmer fact checking or lack thereof
• Christin and Deni, the women whose weight loss was featured in the Woman’s World article, have just left Kimkins.com because of issues with Heidi Diaz and the diet
• Slamboard defended its use of the Woman’s World cover under the fair use doctrine and no further action was taken by Woman’s World
